Hi Jared,
Thanks for getting back to us so quickly and please find my answers below.

In terms of n_val, can I switch to 1 now and restart Riak?

I am building a tree. The tree is 6 levels deep, and the leaf nodes (7th level) 
are a different object type. They are connected through
Bi-directional links and we are using secondary indexes on all those 11 million 
objects.

The system is extremely slow (minutes) when running show all buckets query and 
didn't return for query by key while the CPU was pegging 100% the entire time.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Riak performance issue with many connected objects (11 million +)

Lei,

One issue that stands out is that you are running a single-node cluster.   With 
a n_val of 3, you will be storing 3 copies of every piece of data on that one 
node.  Also, if you are doing a read with a r of 3, you are waiting for the 
data to be read three times from a single node.  If possible, consider making a 
larger cluster (even with smaller machines) to get a better idea about how Riak 
operates.  We recommend a minimum of five physical nodes for a n_val of 3.  If 
you lower your n_val you can possibly lower your physical node count and still 
get good performance at the sacrifice of higher availability.

Given all of the above, it is still unusual that your reads *never* return.  
There might be another issue there irregardless of cluster size.  When you say 
"connected" objects, are you referring to links and link-walking?   If so, how 
deep are you going with your links?  Some context here would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jared

I started performance testing Riak by loading 11 million connected objects in 
Riak. Loading has not been an issue, although it did take a long time.
Now when I tried to access an object, Riak never returns and was using 100% of 
CPU and 74% of memory.

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 8952 riak      20   0 23.4g  11g 1708 S 100.6 74.1   1520:49 beam.smp

This raises major concern on our side. I am using LevelDB for secondary index 
support and I haven't turn on free text search yet. I am running Centos6, with 
16 G memory and Intel i7 8 core.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
